Color Theory

The Reproduction Of Color: Color Wheel, Color Complements

• Colors opposite each other are complementary.
For example, cyan is the complement of red.• Each color is a combination of the colors on
either side of it.• The additive primaries green, blue, and red
separate (filter) the subtractive primaries cyan,
magenta, and yellow from white light.• By absorbing green, blue, and red from
light reflected through transparent ink on white
paper, cyan, magenta, and yellow produce color that
can be reproduced on a printing press.
